The Global Fashion Industry

Fashion Has A Big Problem

 

Millions of workers in the global fashion industry face injustice, abuse, low wages, and modern slavery. The way we produce clothes and shoes—and the endless demand for more—is having a detrimental impact on local communities, their lands and waterways, and even the air they breathe. The fashion industry connects us all—millions of workers and billions of consumers around the world. Together, we are part of this system, and together, we can drive change. So we’re revealing the hidden truths behind the supply chains of the biggest fashion brands, to create momentum for real progress.
